When he makes strategic choices, the Prince favors prudence. This is one of the basic conclusions of the realist school of international relations. Although this is highly debatable, classical realists consider that
How To Recognize And Factor A Binomial That Is A Difference Of Perfect Squares
This video explains what perfect squares are and how to recognize them, what to look for with differences of perfect squares, and how to factor a binomial that is a difference of perfect squares. There are many helpful examples given. This video could be used to introduce or reinforce the concept of factoring binomials that are differences of perfect squares.

How the Presidency Is Invading Your Home [New York Post, October 11, 2010] The Obama administration isn't satisfied giving the American public vast things we don't want — from stimulus packages to bailouts to ObamaCare. Witness its attempt to redesign home appliances. In the pipeline are dumb regulations for almost everything that plugs in or fires up in your home.
International Relations, Spring 2007
This course is designed to acquaint beginning students with some of the fundamental principles of international relations such as realism and idealism. Realism, for example is based on the assumption that the state constitutes the most important actor in the international system. The course will also explore the nature of idealism, which emphasizes the role of international norms and ethics, such as the preservation of human rights, as a means of realizing international justice. The course will

Earth Exploration Toolbook Chapter: Analyzing Wetlands
The Ramsar Wetlands Data Gateway is a database containing information on protected international wetlands. In this activity, users search the database to find a wetland that they are interested in helping to protect. Using the database search capabilities, users select various wetland characteristics and generate a report on the sites that meet their search criteria. Then, they access an interactive map to view the locations and nearby features of the identified wetland sites. Next, they narrow

Typical points, invariant measures, and dimension for rational maps on the Riemann sphere
We present three original results for the dynamics of rational maps on the Riemann sphere. Using methods from dimension and ergodic theory, we discuss generalized physical measures and prove their existence for hyperbolic and some parabolic rational maps. This shows that there are sets of typical points for these maps having maximal dimension. We then show that for any NCP rational map, the set of non-typical, or divergence, points is also of maximal dimension. Finally, we examine holomorphic fa
WildLinAlg14: More row reduction with parameters
This video explains the second half of row reduction, a basic algorithm in linear algebra used to solve systems of linear equations. Parameters are introduced corresponding to non-leading columns of the augmented matrix of the system.
This is the 14th lecture of this course on Linear Algebra given by Assoc Prof N J Wildberger.
